MaineBlaster 1 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I am considering converting my saiga 12 to a SBR on an ATF form 1. My desired barrel length is 9 to 10 inches. The gas system has an upgraded CSS piston. Will it still cycle reliably at this length barrel? Thank you for any input on this issue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 It won't cycle without adding more gas ports and you won't have room for any barrel attachments (brakes / hiders / external chokes) at that length. Shortest you can go and still have room to remove the gas plug for cleaning, without first removing attachments is about 11". That said, 11" is doable with just adding ports and not having to shorten the whole gas system. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

armalite_ar50 86 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Tagged. Like you I'm waiting on F1's to come back. Just did a 10 inch mossy 500 came out sweet enough to do the saiga. Nice to know not much work to run it at 11 inches. Keep us posted on the build. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
